Shomishuu 0 Posted May 18, 2005 Aside from one's personal view of where Asashoryu's blow to Kotooshu belongs on the nasty-meter -- has anyone ever seen anything like it before? (Eating...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 107 Posted May 18, 2005 I've seen worse impacts before but not such a reaction, like Kotooshu's. That's what is amazing.His "glass jaw" as boxers say. To give him credit he is not that many years in sumo to develop a resilience (is that the correct spelling?) to such hits yet ... he will eventually. look at the slaps Kaiho was feeded in the recent past against the likes of Tochiazuma, Kokkai, Takanowaka , etc .... he rarely goes down from those anymore. He just forget parts of his childhood (as he said himself) ... (Eating...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zentoryu 154 Posted May 18, 2005 Asashoryu's battle with Tochiazuma a while back was pretty brutal, with Tochi winning after having his nose bloodied. Kotomitsuki's KO of Takanowaka was something too. And of course the above mentioned Kaio/Tochiazuma clash from 2003. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Onnagumo 4 Posted May 18, 2005 Does anyone remember that "boxing match" between Musoyama and Chiyotaikai? I don't remember exactly what year that was, but it must have been before 2002, when I started saving every basho on videotape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubiquitoyama 4 Posted May 18, 2005 (edited) Does anyone remember that "boxing match" between Musoyama and Chiyotaikai? I don't remember exactly what year that was, but it must have been before 2002, when I started saving every basho on videotape. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I thought of exactly the same bout. There are no movies from that bout on banzuke.com and it wasn't on the highlights from the basho either on the NSK webpage, but it was quite a match...

TokyoBelle 0 Posted May 18, 2005 Hello - I'm new to the forum. I was sitting in the takari-seki seats yesterday and the noise from Kotooshu's face sounded as if something popped - possibly a broken nose? Definitely a different level of force than any other bout yesterday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zuikakuyama 1 Posted May 19, 2005 Welcome to the forum. Please do make an introduction of yourself in the members forum. I'll be intersting to see if Koto sports a black eye today to ruin poster-boy looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't remember which basho though. There were some comments in the recent posts regarding Musayama's retirement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
